| sleep-induced apnea | Apnea resulting from failure of the respiratory centre to stimulate adequate respiration during sleep; divided into respiratory pause (cessation of air flow for less than 10 seconds) and apneic pause (cessation of air flow greater than 10 seconds). (05 Mar 2000) |

| sleep paralysis | <neurology, physiology> A condition that occurs in REM stage sleep. There is no movement of the skeletal muscles in this stage of sleep. See: REM stage sleep. (27 Sep 1997) |
| sleep phase delay syndrome | <syndrome> A disorder in which the circadian rhythm of sleep and waking falls into a delayed but stable relationship with external time cues of day and night. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sleep, rem | A stage of sleep characterised by rapid movements of the eye and low voltage fast pattern eeg. It is usually associated with dreaming. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sleep spindle | The electroencephalographic record of 14-per-second bursts of wave frequency seen on EEG examination. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sleep stages | Periods of sleep manifested by changes in eeg activity and certain behavioural correlates; includes stage 1: sleep onset, drowsy sleep; stage 2: light sleep; stages 3 and 4: delta sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, telencephalic sleep. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sleep terror | A disorder allied to nightmare, occurring in children, in which the child awakes screaming with fright, the distress persisting for a time during a state of saemiconsciousness. Synonym: pavor nocturnus, sleep terror. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta sleep-inducing peptide | <chemical> A nonapeptide that is found in neurons, peripheral organs, and plasma. This neuropeptide induces mainly delta sleep in mammals. In addition to sleep, the peptide has been observed to affect electrophysiological activity, neurotransmitter levels in the brain, circadian and locomotor patterns, hormonal levels, psychological performance, and the activity of neuropharmacological drugs including their withdrawal. Chemical name: Delta sleep-inducing peptide (12 Dec 1998) |
| obstructive sleep apnoea | A form of sleep apnoea which occurs as the result of a physical occlusion of the oropharyngeal airway during sleep. (27 Sep 1997) |
| electric sleep | A condition of convulsions and unconsciousness induced by the passage of an electric current through the brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrotherapeutic sleep therapy | Treatment by inducing sleep by means of nonconvulsive electric stimulation of the brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| twilight sleep | Formerly a method of producing sleep for delivery by a combination of morphine and scopolamine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| light sleep | A condition of half sleep. Synonym: light sleep. Origin: dys-+ G. Nystaxis, drowsiness (05 Mar 2000) |
